History Music / CelineDion

Céline Marie Claudette Dion [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever CC]] (born 30 March 1968) is one of the most popular Canadian singers of all time. Dion was born and raised in [[UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}} Quebec]], ''the'' Canadian province whose majority of populace speak French. Thus, she spent her early years speaking and singing only French. Met her future husband, music manager René Angélil in 1981, who became her manager for the rest of his life (at least until he officially stepped down as his health deteriorated later on). She made her first English recording in 1985 (and recorded in German as early as 1983), but didn't learn to speak the language until several years later. In 1990, with a slew of awards already under her belt in Canada and internationally, she released her first English album, and to this day has maintained successful careers singing in both French and English and has recorded in several other languages, including Spanish and even Japanese. Married René in 1994 and lived happily together along with three sons despite [[MayDecemberRomance the two's age difference]] until René passing due to throat cancer on January 14, 2016, 21 years into their marriage.

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: There was once a song by Jean Jacques Goldman called ''Puisque tu pars'', which is basically the complaint of a parent who sees their child leave them to experience life in the outside world. Then Céline decided to [[TranslatedCoverVersion sing it in English]], with lyrics that have [[TheCoverChangesTheMeaning nothing to do with the original's]]. You might know her version as "Let's Talk About Love"

After cancelling several 2022 shows due to severe and persistent muscle spasms, Celine [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaOQG4_SuSk would announce in 8 of December of the same year]] that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disease.

* SingingVoiceDissonance: She sings in French with only the barest Québecois accent. When she speaks however, her accent's so thick, a common joke is that even the people of Québec have trouble understanding what she says. And her Quebecois dialect is also much more noticeable when speaking English than when singing in it - which has become even more noticeable in recent years as the dialect has actually thickened.

Sadly, her carrer would receive another personal tragedy in 2022. After cancelling several shows due to severe and persistent muscle spasms, Celine [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaOQG4_SuSk would announce in 8 of December of the same year]] that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disease, which were the reasons for her spasms. All future shows had to be cancelled, and it's unknown what will become of her career.

* The 2021 French-Canadian film ''Film/{{Aline|2021}}'' is a somewhat comedic NoCelebritiesWereHarmed biopic of her life, with the main character, played by Valérie Lemercier, being renamed "Aline Dieu".
